Why Eliminating Seven Billion People Isn’t a Good Thing
Are there really too many people on this planet? Would life be better if only 500 million humans existed? Some people think so - they are wrong! Here's why.
Climate alarmists insist that there are too many people on this planet.
Conspiracy theorists believe the lizard people billionaire cabal want to delete most of the human population.
Do you want to know why this is absolute lunacy, and how it makes zero sense?
The idea that humans are the problem for our planet and that we’d be much better off if the population shrank to a bare minimum infuriates me beyond measure. Yet, it is widely accepted by everyone who has never done any critical thinking. We shall correct that mistake today!
The planet doesn’t care
We are such an insignificant factor on the planetary scale that manipulating statistics to display our importance requires magician-level deceit. Our collective contribution to CO2 levels is abysmal. Yes, we pollute, but it is all insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Throughout Earth’s history, there have been ice ages, hot ages, catastrophic events, and planet-wide extinctions, none of which have been our fault. The planet is changing all the time, and we are fortunate to live in the mildest climate.
The climate is constantly changing and there is nothing we can or should do about it. For the love of God, please don’t try to block out the sun, because that could have terrifying consequences (Bill Gates’s plan).
This article is not about arguing regarding “global cooling, I’m sorry global warming, I’m sorry climate change.” I have found that to be a waste of time.
You know what you know, I know what I know, and none of us know anything, so let’s not argue pointlessly.
The genociders win - now what?
Let’s say the climate alarmists are right and they manage to murder seven and a half billion people, leaving only 500,000 humans alive.
Yey, the planet is free from the human plague, and now Bambies are prospering in our absence. How wonderful.
I hope you see the evil and monstrousness of this idea
The people who want seven billion souls to die suddenly, are not your friends. These are not good people.
In fact, not even the worst of the worst of genocidal maniacs are a match for their bloodthirst. Hitler is a baby Gandhi with a touch of Jesus in comparison!
Furthermore, I don’t see them offering themselves up as a sacrifice, either. Hypiocratic monsters, the lot of them!
If they were honest about their words, they would have done their part long ago (sepuku). Not unlike the millionaires buying beachfront properties and flying in private planes, telling you to walk, eat bugs, and prepare to drown as the sea level rises.
What happens to the planet after seven billion people die overnight?
Nature covers our cities, and in a few decades, there will be hardly any sign that we have ever been there. Animals and plants will take over. The CO2 you thought you were saving by killing off the human population is now being pumped out by animals.
The number of “souls” doesn’t diminish. It merely changes form. Our human loss is the gain for animals and plants. Why their lives are more important than ours, is beyond me, though.
The sun, volcanoes, planetary orbits, magnetic field of the core, and other sources of environmental change will continue to cause our planet to change, as they always have. Our fauna and flora, temperatures, and CO2 level were never constant but permanently moved in cycles.
Change is the only constant, and only human hubris believes we can or should stop this.
What is life like with only 500,000 humans on the planet?
There would be no progress, no electricity, no technology, no comfort, no safety, no medicine, nothing!
Our average lifespan would degrade back to the high twenties, which has been the case for most of human existence.
That was not because there weren’t any old people left, but because the younglings had such slim odds of survival!
We go back to the “life is a battle for survival mode, praying to our pagan Gods that at least one of our ten kids survives into adulthood,” while our hearts harden as we bury our loved ones - a few every year.
Every infected wound or broken tooth lowers our survival odds by 50%.
Every drought decimates our population and forces us to migrate.
Hunger is again part of the human condition.
There is no prosperity. We go back to, at best, hard-toiling agriculture. No fertilizers, apart from our excrements. No tractors, only backbreaking hard work.
Living off the land sounds so romantic, but it’s not. It’s a hard life, and if you knew the life of comfort we now enjoy, you would howl every night cursing the person who threw you back in time.
The lizard people cabal are wealthy and powerful now, but then, they’d be nothing
Who would they rule over? Small villages of farmers? Where would they get their wealth and power? There would be no economy, commerce, technology, interconnectedness, or globalization. “I give you one sheep for ten chickens” is a difficult game to become wealthy with.
At best, they’d be the local war lords, ruling over their group of bandits. You know, the ones raping, and murdering you - the farmers, because the strong would trample the weak, once more.
I’m not sure these lizard people cabal billionaires are truly plotting to annihilate all that has made them wealthy in the first place. If anything, the irony is that they have more to lose than you and I.
How would you stop people from multiplying?
Even though you’ve managed to genocide 95% of the human population, you still have to castrate the survivors somehow. Humans are the peak of evolution. We win every time.
It’s only a matter of time before we find ways to make our lives safer, longer, and more comfortable. Then, we will begin the rapid repopulation of our planet all over again.
What’s it gonna be? Genetically manipulating our breeding capabilities, forbidding families from having more than one child, manually castrating, or ritual sacrifices to whatever evil god you happen to pray?
Is your ethics and morals inner center sounding any alarms or nah, fuck it?
Is it possible to have a technological utopia with only 500 million people?
Only under one condition—an extreme concentration of population. As the infrastructure connecting the world collapses, keeping everyone close is the only way to maintain a highly technological society.
For example, cram all the people on this planet into one or a few concentrated centers, where you would build a society around primary energy sources.
Provided that you somehow managed only to kill off those who aren’t experts at everything, and the survivors know how to build and maintain everything we today take for granted.
Even then, the odds of humanity being able to maintain the current state, much less further innovate, are abysmal.
I’m not even mentioning the rare earths, oil, and other supplies we would somehow still need to produce, but are scattered around the planet.
Odds are overwhelming that in a few generations, we’d have a lot more people or fewer things.
Fuck half-measures
For a passionate advocate of everyone and everything on this planet, except human lives, you’re better off just finishing the job, to be honest. Leave none alive, and just to be sure, kill off the monkey as well. Then the planet will be free from our influence for at least a few million years.
God allegedly genocided the whole planet a few times over, and we’re still here, multiplying like locusts. One might argue, it is inevitable.
There is a non-zero chance that humans came from outside this planet, whether that’s God’s work, or some humanoid alien race, which could derail your plan.
Just think of all that blood on your hands, and then some alien, god entity comes by and replants humans again. The horror! The horror!
I mean, surely you know better than God, nature, or possible alien creators combined, when you decided that humans have no right to exist on this planet. Right?
The more, the merrier
The truth is the opposite of what these genocidal maniacs believe. Increasing human prosperity and diminishing world hunger and suffering are directly proportional to our increased numbers, progress, and activity.
There has never been as many resources as today. People have generally never lived in such prosperity, peace, and comfort as today. That’s a fact.
I would argue that we’re on the right path regarding technological development. The direction is clear: toward sustainable materials, energy, and technological breakthroughs that will lessen our footprint.
But for that, we need to survive, be prosperous, and further increase our technological development, not go back in time, and murder 95% of our population.
Even if you are a passionate climate alarmist, believing that human industrialization is the root of all planetary evil, the best odds of transcending our wasteful ways, are inches away, with the expansion of artificial intelligence, possible cold fusion, new battery materials, and so on.
Forward, lies the solution to our quandary. Let us proceed with haste, not revert backward.
The optimist in me, and I know full well I’m in the minority, sees the new technological and scientific shifts with wonder and hope. I believe good times are coming, and the best is yet ahead.
